the figures in our business bulletin twenty minutes from the. worldwide news of live from moscow this is our team welcome to the program it appears that libyan leader moammar gadhafi is not only being targeted by nato jets but the international criminal court also has him in its sights judges in the hague have issued an arrest warrant for gadhafi and his closest allies on charges of crimes against humanity our correspondent has more on this. namely he's being accused of purposefully targeting kids surveillance of killing civilians during the dispersal of the protest in february of this year the court's decision and the request for the arrest of moammar gadhafi his son and also his intelligence

minister has been issued by one of the prosecutors of the international criminal court and this is only the second time in the court's nine year history that such a warrant has been issued for an incumbent head of states the first such occurrence happened in two thousand and nine and the man that they wanted or were after was the sudanese president. that's a decision that has yet to be implemented in reality and the libyan authorities have already said that they will not comply with the i.c.c. decision in this case they actually questioned its legitimacy and have a reminder that libya is not a signatory to the rome treaty which has actually set up the international criminal court we have yet to find out how exactly they will go about arresting one of our capacity the i.c.c. did say that the libyan people themselves will arrest gadhafi but of course. he is told words remain to find and say they will continue to fight to the very end and they basically said they don't particularly care for this particular decision as

a matter of fact there were reports of intensified bombing off tripoli just this morning there were reports that blast have been heard very close to his compound this was supposed to be an enforcement of a no fly zone in libya and yet already we're talking about. according to libyan government we're talking about hundreds of civilians being killed as a result of the nato air strikes of course new officials have until not so long in the eyes of the. at this point is kind of a situation which is just hanging in the air and whether this particular leaders decision and the i.c.c. whether that will have any effect on the situation in libya remains to be seen. that is ridiculous reporting right there but meantime. for the chairman of the state duma's foreign affairs committee explained to r.t. why the arrest warrants cannot be applied to the libyan leader. and the good to see of the international criminal court. is not legally binding for libya for the

simple reason libya is not a member state of the court and is long as mr. or libyans theory korea and this decision can not be fulfilled in case the decision of the courts peace in . their will mean there mr inevitably will try to stay in power as long as he can and there contradicts the intentions on the international community of the way they are why the security council member states russia included. eric denise a co-author of independent report into the libyan war after traveling there on a fact finding mission back in april but he thinks that there's no chance of could actually being arrested unless foreign ground forces intervene. there is no way to risk anything because he is living in is very. very well protected until we

don't send any troops in the invasion force it's also going to to to have caliphate i think that. in fact he is winning because most of the units are very well equipped compared with the insurgents without the nato support the subjects are absolutely nothing they don't have a need military training they don't have any military organization they are only people who are screaming in the street and this is why they are asking more and more nato involvement but it's very surprising because you can do. we've got doing the job yourself and this is not the gaze of the insurgents in benghazi so our five minutes past the hour here in moscow you are with r.t. and still to come in the program democracy with a catch the u.s. announces new programs to help opposition movements across the globe but some suggest it's just

a convenient way to overthrow nuisance governments. in absentia court hands out twenty five years in prison to a top intelligence officer and fled russia after exposing a group of u.s. based russian agents including. a flotilla of humanitarian aid ships carrying supplies to gaza is set apart from greece it's reportedly made up of ten vessels with some five hundred activists on board israel warns that its military is quote gearing up to intercept. but has dropped earlier threats against journalists that they would be banned or deported for covering the events. as the latest. israeli government says it is rethinking how it plans to handle. so yes it's a miracle of waterloo's and heads towards gaza later this week what we do know is that earlier the israeli government press officer that any journalist onboard would

face arrest would face detention and would also face a ban of up to ten years they would not be able to return to israel for at least a decade we are now hearing that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu first heard of this only this morning monday on the news and he is there to have said it is problematic he has urged his cabinet to rethink it and he's also said of the way journalists are dealt with is different to the way you so-called infiltrators are handled this doesn't know how to answer the question as if and when the israeli government from the finds the second fertility to be in violation of international law which is of course part of the first it's illegal to know how they will join the some who will be dealt with the security cabinet held an emergency meeting today after the meeting it issued a statement in which the ballot government ministers there who are determined to prevent the front from reaching gaza with as little friction as possible we're talking about ten ships from five hundred passengers on board representing some

twenty two countries so if you know one wants repeat of what happened last year and the israeli authorities are at pains to point make sure that all they got on the road to prove range the same kind of incident occurring that first attempt happened on may the thirty first there were six ships involved they had six l. from thirty and then lot just of those ships known as the mahdi mama came in conflict with israeli commandos who were lowered into the ship via helicopters from helicopters there was fighting that ensued both sides blaming the other question is starting the conflict but the fact is that nine turkish activists who were on board were killed now the israeli government has said again and again that it will not allow any ships where this fits in or attempt for another one to actually reach gaza the israeli authorities saying that they insist on actually salting through all the goods on board to make sure that there are no no weapons. mission there and then once feel satisfied that they reasoned they will be personally responsible for transferring the goods to gaza it is important to note that the reason why the

activists are telling us the second for telling in as many years in two years is that they do believe that the blockade on gaza is facilitating a humanitarian disaster we are hearing reports of increasing shortages in food supplies in medical supplies in basic items that people need to keep on living and so this is the second attempt by activists around the world to draw attention cigars and talk to reporters you can find the footage of last year's israeli assault on our website it's hard to top com there are also plenty of other stories waiting for you including the latest news politics culture blogs and expert analysis here's some of the items are lined up for you online right now if you are a vampire or an elephant feel your rights are under represented one group is aiming to fight your cause find out about russia's growing youth movement for image rights . and i'm also having their rights defended to find the story of a monument to a dog that's raised thousands of dollars to help stray animals all across russia.

the japanese government is starting radiation checks on millions of people living near the stricken fukushima nuclear plant it's been revealed that fifteen people living over forty kilometers from the facility showed signs of internal radiation exposure when examined last month i was also using sean thomas many no longer trust the safety warnings. in a culture that is generally non-confrontational and obedient when thousands take to the streets of tokyo against nuclear energy it is a serious sign of discontent if after this crisis it is true that the people are more conscious and we need to take advantage of it this is the first time since the second world war the japanese people have no trust in the government he was a coastal city devastated by the earthquake the tsunami and on the edge of the radiation exclusion zone he's starting on the long road to recovery but the people living here see the government just isn't doing enough from the city hall like iraq

city they said different things like perfect or they said different things and the government is a different thing if. they are not together the are all still part of the country last year they are apart but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of the situation or scientists know that large doses of radiation given in one glance is a significant health threat but they say there isn't enough information about long term exposure to lower doses of radiation and the types of damage it can do if you check here here or right your ideation level and then you should decrease and then you tick water you always feel have different values because it's so close and so changing so you can hardly say but it's really exceed what a normal person would have a five year one of the frightening things about this entire incident is that there are no concrete ground can clearly guarantee your safety one example is this looks

like a beautiful watch green valley behind me but in fact this is the very area of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone that the government has set up in fact we're trying to get a little bit closer but we're supported out by a police officer and a couple of personnel now although this is supposed to be a safe area the radiation levels here are still between seven and ten times higher than normal weather for misinformation or me. understanding that people who live in the affected areas don't always take the proper precautions here a volunteer works to clean up toxic radioactive hot spots with hardly any protection at all a problem that some say is compounded by government propaganda accentuating the benefits while neglecting to inform about the dangers of nuclear waste. the first thing the government should do is let the citizens know the real cost of nuclear energy until now the priority has been to profit from energy the p.r. machine of the government has been emphasising the benefit of nuclear energy and

the citizens have been brainwashed to believe it now in the wake of an international crisis and there are allegations that the government and the power companies have worked out a deal to help each other and that the media has been bought off the t.v. channels need the money from advertisement and the nuclear energy companies pay a lot with at this money they cannot survive and for that reason i have to shut up of a the situation the newspapers have this problem as well a move that if true keeps the important information hidden from the people saving face for those in charge in japan showing thomas or teehee. how it's not nuclear energy but shoddy equipment to blame in fukushima and that's the view of john rich director general of the world nuclear sort of situation he spoke to on c s sophie shevardnadze about the same fifteen north atomic energy and his interview was coming your way next hour but here's a preview. the great irony of what happened at fukushima is that it was the failure of non-nuclear support systems to be available after the shutdown that resulted in

this meltdown every nuclear regulatory authority in the world needs to go back and ask the question are all of the reactors under my supervision protected against worst case natural catastrophes like floods like tsunamis like earthquakes like plain precious and that those questions are being asked right now i think they will result in some changes i don't think the changes are going to be terribly expensive i don't think they're going to take a long time to implement and i think that the good of this world will have drawn a lesson from fukushima nuclear safety will be even stronger. the man who blew the cover of a group of russian agents in the u.s. last year has been found guilty in absentia of treason and desertion by a moscow court intelligence colonel alexander to take off fled the country before the scandal last june which saw ten agents including anna chapman i rested. has

been following proceedings. this very high profile case has been deemed top secret and classified so most of the proceedings at that place in moscow as military court were held behind closed doors and every shred of evidence and witness statement that was submitted throughout the course of the trial was also classified and top secret but we do know that excited by dave has been stripped of all of his military ranks and achievements and found guilty of treason and sentenced to twenty five years in prison of course at the moment that really doesn't affect his life that much because of course he's not in russia according to the court he's most likely hiding somewhere in the united states and he left for the united states just a little over a year ago and according to information voiced in the court room that was a complete surprise to everybody including his wife she found out that her husband had deserted her her family and her country from

a text message which he sent to her saying mary i'm sorry i hope you find a way to forgive me this isn't for a while this is for ever i've extended my steve has been working with u.s. intelligence officers for at least a decade out of those people whose cover he blew and of chapman perhaps one of the most famous and media. light characters she picked him out of a photo lineup saying that this is in fact a man that she met with in the united states according to her statement she felt somewhat uncomfortable after her meeting with him and contacted her superiors in moscow which then confirmed her suspicions but of course by then it was too late and ten people were sent out of the united states being found guilty of being unregistered agents of a foreign government. and i want to go to some other stories making headlines around the world this hour thousands are being forced from their homes in the u.s.

claims the best of intentions saying it wants to strengthen independent civil society groups in those countries it's just in really another form of provoking regime change they're just trying to do it under a different guise under a different facade saying that somehow with the best of intentions they're promoting democracy but in reality it's just promoting us agenda among other things the state department is financing the creation of stealth wireless networks that would enable activists to communicate outside the reach of governments in countries like iran and syria and libya according to participants in the projects other programs include a so-called internet in a suitcase a powerful portable wireless transmitter that activists can use to set up their own networks in order to circumvent state control but at the same time american companies provide authorities in bahrain saudi arabia and kuwait with the technology to effectively block websites those double standards. and everybody

should be fully aware and understand the. united states government and fostering regime change since we call revolutions or college is not all the u.s. provides to instigate change in certain countries. some opposition movements get a direct cash supply for example weaken leaks cables show that the state department has for years secretly funded syrian anti-government groups in general can create a world. war. more specifically more controlled we align with the views of the united states i'm now looking at the state department website that promotes grants for those willing to bring about change in communist cuba and here is one of the requirements i'm going to read this it is preferable for these personnel to speak spanish fluently solid understanding of the cultural context and have prior experience on the island in order to maximize their

effectiveness in this unique operating environment and if quote sounds very much like recruiting agents but instead of doing it the traditional secretive way the us does their right out in the open under website help most often comes with strings attached many say opposition leaders in libya who now get financial and political support from washington are sure to get instructions on how to return the favor essentially their. system with. the u.s. government even if they don't necessarily. get a check on our key washington d.c. towards a not just a few minutes here not so your career. for herself. oh
